Membership of Linaro is open to all interested companies, including ARM licensees, device companies using ARM processors, Linux distributions and other companies who wish to influence the future of Linux on ARM. Core, club and group members all provide funding for Linaro and engineering assignees. To learn more about our membership please see: Membership Rules of Linaro and the Articles of Association.

The current members are listed below. If you are interested in joining these industry leaders, please contact Joe Bates at [email protected]

Core membership is the highest level within Linaro. Core members have a seat on the Linaro board of directors, two votes on the Technical Steering Committee (TSC) and unlimited access to all of Linaro’s activities.

Club membership is the starting point for most of ARM’s licensees who produce chips in a range of segments. There is one voted representative of the club members on the Linaro board of directors and each club member has one vote on the TSC.

Group members have a vote on their group steering committee and an elected representative on the TSC. Group membership is a good way for companies with a focus in a particular segment to get involved and influence the direction of Linaro’s work in that segment.

Community membership is a special level of membership granted to organizations that have contributed significantly to Linaro’s development and is by invitation of the Linaro board.
